When the fluid coupling is filled with oil to the appropriate level and the
Selection of traction type fluid couplings motor is switched on, oil in the passages between the vanes of the
as a function of impeller is accelerated radially outwards gaining energy all the time
until it reaches the maximum circuit diameter. The oil then passes
power transmitted and input speed. from the impeller to the runner in which it is forced to move inwards
between the vanes and as its radial velocity falls energy is transferred
to the runner and output shaft. Because the oil passes directly form
the impeller to the runner, (there is no reaction member, as in a torque
converter), the efficiency is high, with full load slips of between 2 and
5 % being achieved in practice and depending on the application and
size selection.
Windage and oil circulation losses are negligible therefore efficiency
equals 100% – slip %. Should an overload occur the fluid coupling will
stall, i.e. slip 100 % at a torque value determined by the initial oil filling
level. Thus motor and machine are both protected.
ELECON hydrokinetic constant filling fluid couplings have the following
advantages :
PERFORMANCE
The level of performance achieved by Fluid Coupling is governed mainly
by the design of its working circuit which includes the shape of the
circuit, number of vanes in the circuit, the vanes placement etc.
The working circuit developed by Elecon is out of number of years of
experience in the field and is vital in the performance of the fluid coupling.
casing Elecon Fluid couplings are very rugged in construction, simple in design
and reliable in operation.
REDUCED STARTING CURRENT
When Elecon fluid coupling is connected to the drive system it allows
the motor to start practically at no load. This results in reduced starting
current enabling quick start and acceleration of the drive motor.
SOFT START
It gives gradual start to driven equipment and thus provides smooth
and shockless transmission.
LOW MAINTENANCE COST
Driving and driven equipments suffer less wear and tear and thus there
is reduction in electrical and mechanical maintenance cost.
PROTECTION TO MOTOR AND MACHINE
In case of overload, accidental jamming, the transmission torque is
limited by the fluid coupling and thereby providing protection to the
electric motor and the connected machine.
In case of extended jamming period, fusible plug blow off will empty
the fluid coupling thereby disconnecting the output from the input, and
protecting both driving and driven equipment.
The graph shows how, with the use of fluid coupling demand during To prevent the loss of oil and to have an additional safety device,
acceleration of the load is kept to an acceptable value: thus favouring thermal trig switch can be provided when demanded in addition to the
the use of a squirrel cage motor. After switch-on, as the motor accelerates, fusible plug.
the torque transmitted by the fluid coupling builds up according to curve
OA in the lefthand graph while the output shaft is stationary. The motor
thus has available a high surplus of torque and so accelerates to point
a very rapidly.
The abrupt start usually associated with squirrel cage motor is cushioned
by a fluid coupling. It assures a very smooth start and protects the
machine in the event of jamming or overload: because the fluid coupling
acts as a torque limiter the intertia of the motor rotor is not transmitted
in a damaging way.

Traction type fluid couplings
Description
There are following types of ELECON traction couplings :
CD : Coupling without delayed filling chamber
CDR : Coupling with delayed filling chamber
CDRP : Coupling with extended delayed filling chamber
CDI : Reversed coupling without delayed filling chamber
CDIR : Reversed coupling with delayed filling chamber.
* Type CD consists of an impeller, driven by the motor and a runner, driving the output shaft, which together with a
casing forms an oil tight unit. The working circuit includes a central "by pass" chamber which in conjunction with a
baffle helps to limit the torque under conditions of high slip without sacrificing efficiency under normal running
conditions.
* Type CDR includes in addition a delayed filling chamber attached to the impeller and communicating with the working
circuit by means of holes. This permits machines to start at reduced torque e.g. 1.4 times full load torque.
* Type CDRP has an extra large delayed filling chamber. This allows very low starting torques (1.2 times full load
torque) and low full load slip.
Fluid coupling types and mountings.
1. Model XR (hollow shaft). An in-line arrangement with the hollow shaft of the fluid coupling generally fitted over the
driven machine shaft. The connection to the motor is by means of a fully flexible coupling. It is possible in certain
cases to mount the fluid coupling on the motor shaft with the flexible coupling on the output side, this is referred to
as "reverse mounting" (model XR reversed).
2. Model PH (with "V-belt" pulleys). This is a combination of fluid coupling and "V-belt" pulley.
— PHR : fluid coupling mounted on motor shaft
— PHM : fluid coupling mounted on machine shaft
3. Model R (solid shaft). Also, an in-line arrangement which is mounted on the motor shaft and has a solid output shaft.
There is a choice of output flexible couplings & brake drum.

ELECON —
Soft touch gives you the solution
to six machine killing problems
1. Soft starts
Start an empty conveyor with too much motor torque. You'll break
belts. Dmage idlers and wear the equipment out before its time.
The soft start of the ELECON Fluid Coupling controls torque,
allowing it to build up gradually without shock loads.
2. The right starting torque
A fully loaded crusher or mixer takes more torque to start than a
standard squirrel cage motor can safely provide.
An ELECON Fluid Coupling boosts the usable torque of the motor ELECON Fluid coupling
by as much as 200% and at the same time reduces current draw.
3. Protection of the motor
A motor slowly starting a big fan draws excessive current and is a
source of electrical overload and failure.
The ELECON Fluid Coupling allows the motor to quickly accelerate
to full speed, reducing current draw to normal levels in seconds.
4. Shock absorption
A jam in the system can create torque loads ten times the nominal.
Equipment will break. The ELECON Fluid Coupling will absorb this
machine killing shock.
5. Perfectly balanced motor loading
Two or more motors driving the same load are nearly impossible
to balance.
But, with ELECON Fluid Coupling, you can balance the load easily
by adjusting the amount of fluid in the coupling.
6. Elimination of unwanted vibrations
When the motor and driven machinery vibrate together, the
reasonance can cause severe damage.
